No philosophy, my son; it is of no use to an emperor.
You can know you're a Christian if, not are you dealing with your sin before God but is God dealing with you about your sin.
Needless to say, you can love people without leading them, but you cannot lead people without loving them.
Don't blame, forgive, All healing is self-healing
If a guy is intimidated by a woman in leadership, he has real problems with his own concepts of masculinity. That's a harsh statement, but I believe it to be true.
In my opinion, the most important thing as a woman leader-and I learned this early through a whole bunch of great women who were in my life (and men, I have to say)-is that if you have a position of leadership and power and you don't use it in a different way, then you're wasting it. So when people used to say to me when I was the first woman president of PBS, "Well, you know, does that mean that as a woman you're going to be a different kind of president?" And I would say, "Well, I hope so!"
I think it is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
The masses are in reality their own leaders, dialectically creating their own development process.
I can't explain the lack of integrity among some of the leaders of our health care facilities. This is something I rarely encountered during 38 years in uniform. And so I will not defend it because it is indefensible. But I can take responsibility for it and I do.
Turn off your mind, and focus on what you've got to do - task at hand.
I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.
Everybody who aspires to high positions of leadership in their state and in their country should be willing to take unscreened, unrehearsed questions from the people who pay their salary.
Some people you speak to you speak into their heads. It's logical.
Many years from now, what would you like people to line up and thank you for?
Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.
